I reach for the lightIt shines above my headReveals the bed that you're not inI reach for the lightIt shines across the roomAnd brings to mind what might have been

And I wish I could forgetHow good you look, tonightWhen you smiled at meAnd walked away with himOh, Oh no!

I reach for the lightIt shines above my headReveals the bed that you're not inI reach for the lightIt shines across the roomAnd brings to mind what might have been

I reach for the light, now(I reach for the light)I tell myself I'm better offNo one can hurt me now(I reach for the light)I see your crumpled photographIt makes me laugh aloud(I reach for the light)I lay wake my lonely roomTells me there's no one there(I reach for the light)
